I started using Splenda and loved it at first. I loved the taste. After about six months of using it, maybe less, I began to have severe IBS symptoms. I have never had problems with my bowels before. I am not overweight, don't overeat, and try to be as healthy as I can. I was shocked.

I never linked Splenda to my symptoms.  The symptoms kept getting worse and worse.  I kep using the Splenda religiously and kept getting worse.  Finally, a nurse who I worked with asked me if I used Splenda.  I said yes. She said to stop immediately.  

Within a week, I saw a huge improvement.  I honestly think I would not have been able to continue with my job if I had not stopped.  I was leaving my job weekly and having to lie down on the floor from the pain. I was losing control of my bowels, as well.  

Please help others to stop using this horrible stuff.  Thank you."
